retrieving path in local repository from within a plugin
Hi,
as the plugin developer list over at codehaus seems to be down, I hope to
get an answer here:
I want to get the full absolute path to some artifact in the local
repository. So what I want is:
input: groupId, artifactId, version
output: absolute path to that artifact in local repository
For reasons not to be explained here, the plugin can not have
@requiresDependencyResolution set and can not have the wanted artifact in
its dependencies in the POM.
Does the Maven API offer such a function for use inside of a plugin?
What I currently do and what works is having a parameter with
* @parameter
expression="${settings.localRepository}/<groupId>/<artifactId>/<version>/<ar
tifactId>-<version>.jar"
(fill in <groupId>, <artifactId>, <version> with the appropriate values)
It works, but does not look like a clean way to me as it involves knowledge
about the inner structure of the local repository, which might be subject to
change.
A surplus would be to have a way to get this artifact downloaded if it's not
present - but remember, without having to add it to the POM.
thanks in advance!
greetings,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
i.A. Detlef Pleiß

Hi,
Why don't you just specify that dependency in the plugin's
pom? Or let the users specify it in a <dependencies> section in the
<plugin> section in their pom?
There is a way to do this however, but it's strongly discouraged because
it should be Maven's job to handle dependencies and configuring the
runtime environment. That said: take a look at the maven-eclipse-plugin's
usage of the ArtifactManager..
See
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-artifact-manager
It can download artifacts and give you the filename.
